IMPORTANT WARNINGS - PLEASE READ BEFORE USING COVER
WARNING TO OWNERS OF REPAINTED VEHICLES: Use of a cover on any recently painted surface may
cause damage to that surface. If your vehicle has been repainted check with the painter or body shop on
the specifics of how and when you can use this cover.
WARNING FOR USE IN HIGH WIND AREAS FOR WEATHERTECH® CUSTOM-FIT INDOOR CAR COVERS :
This cover is not intended for outdoor use, but if it is used in high wind areas (and for prolonged storage), use the loops and rope provided to securely pull the cover tight under the center of the car. If used
outdoors check for flapping in high winds. If wind gets under the cover it can cause it to work loose and
come off the vehicle.
WARNING FOR USE IN HIGH WIND AREAS FOR WEATHERTECH® CUSTOM-FIT OUTDOOR CAR COVERS:
When using this cover in high wind areas (and prolonged storage), use the loops and rope provided to
securely pull the cover tight under the center of the car. The cover is not designed to replace a garage
and should be checked for flapping in high winds. If wind gets under the cover it can cause it to work
loose and come off the vehicle.
WARNING FOR FREEZING WEATHER FOR WEATHERTECH® CUSTOM-FIT OUTDOOR CAR COVERS :
In very rare cases when a heavy rainstorm is followed by an extreme temperature drop to below freezing,
it is possible for the cover to become frozen to a layer of ice created between the vehicle body and the
cover. DO NOT attempt to remove the cover if this happens. If it is necessary to remove the cover, we
recommend pouring warm water over the vehicle and slowly removing the cover, taking care to inspect the
surfaces of both the cover and the vehicle during the removal process. Stop immediately if you encounter
resistance - the ice has not been melted completely and you must pour more warm water over the vehicle.

PREPARING COVER FOR INSTALLATION
Instructions for Vehicles with Exterior Radio Antennas*
Option #1: Vehicles with Removable Antennas
1) Begin by removing the antenna and install the cover onto the vehicle. Make sure the cover is properly
aligned and positioned. (If the antenna cannot be easily removed, refer to Installation Option #2)
2) Using a sharp pencil, create a hole through the fabric at the antenna location. Be careful to avoid
hitting the vehicle.
3) Using sharp scissors, make a hole opening 3/4" in diameter.
4) Take the cover off of the vehicle and onto a clean, hard surface. Position the inside portion of the
grommet through the hole on the underside of the cover. Secure the outside grommet snap-ring on
top by using a rubber mallet. DO NOT use excessive force which could cause damage to the grommet.
Option #2: Vehicles with Antennas that Cannot be Easily Removed
1) Place the cover on the vehicle except for the fender or body panel where the antenna is located, roll or
fold the cover away from the antenna and cover all the remaining area of the vehicle. (Do not attempt
to place the cover over the top of the antenna.)
2) Center the cover, align both seams with the roof edges and pull down the cover evenly over the
remaining portions of the vehicle.
3) Carefully unfold the portion of the cover that is next to the antenna and position it next to the base.
Recheck the overall positioning of the cover to make sure it has not moved on the vehicle. Make sure
the cover lies flat over the hood and roof areas of the vehicle.
4) Mark the cover with the location of the antenna base and make a hole with a sharp pencil. (Follow
steps 3&4 of Option #1 to complete preparing the cover for installation)
IMPORTANT - When installing the cover, remember to place it over the antenna before putting the mirror
pockets over the mirrors.

*A non-corrosive plastic grommet
is included to create an opening in
the cover.
GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES
To help correctly position the cover on the vehicle the front of the cover features a vehicle ID tag sewn
into the seam, the WeatherTech® logo across the hood portion and is marked with the word “front”. If
the cover is equipped with mirror pockets, it is very important that the mirror pockets be placed over the
side mirrors before the ends of the cover are stretched over the front and rear bumpers (see Figure “A”).
Some vehicles have very sharp bumpers, hood ornaments, moldings, etc. We recommend that you
reinforce the inside of the cover at areas exposed to severe abrasion using cloth-reinforced duct tape or
vinyl tape. This will help extend the use of the cover.
Figure A
ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION NOTES
The elastic at each end of the cover will keep the cover in place under normal conditions. A tie-down
rope is also included - secure it through the loops sewn into the hem under the driver and passenger
doors, if needed.
Use care when installing the cover on a car which has just been driven to be sure the material does not
come in contact with hot exhaust pipes.
REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
1) Release both ends of the cover from under the bumpers.
2) Fold up both sides onto the top of the vehicle into a long pile approximately 2 feet (60 cm) wide
(see Figure “B”).
3) Start at the front of the vehicle and fold the cover in three foot (1 meter) folds from the front to the
back (see Figure “C”).
PERSONALIZED MARKING INSTRUCTIONS
To protect against theft, the cover can be marked with additional vehicle information such as license
plate number or owner’s name. ONLY use fabric paints, found at most craft and art supply stores, to apply
any markings to the Car Cover.
DO NOT use regular or spray paint, laundry markers or “permanent” type Magic markers, any type of
felt-tip pen or marker.
WARNING Markers and regular paint will not adhere to the fabric and can transfer their color onto the
vehicle finish.
WEATHERTECH® INDOOR CUSTOM-FIT CAR COVER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Fabric performance can be severely affected by dirt that builds up on the material, causing the windshield
and paint to become dirty and “fogged”. Cleaning your cover will help to keep your vehicle clean and to
increase the service life of the cover.
NEVER use fabric softener.
1) Using a large commercial washer (smaller car covers can be washed in a home-size washer), add a
mild liquid laundry detergent without bleach after it has filled with warm water or prior to putting the
cover inside. Use a gentle cycle if available.
2) Rinse the cover 2 times to remove all detergent.
3) Air dry or use a dryer set on a Permanent Press heat setting.
WEATHERTECH® OUTDOOR CUSTOM-FIT CAR COVER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Car cover fabric performance can be severely affected by dirt that builds up on and within the material.
It can cause the windshield and paint to become dirty and “fogged” as well as create “wicking” where it
actually helps pull water through the fabric, nullifying any water resistant properties of the fabric. Cleaning
your cover will help to keep your vehicle clean and to increase the service life of the cover.
NEVER clean in a washer with a center agitator.
NEVER use fabric softener.
Option #1: Cleaning in a Commercial Washer
1) Using a large commercial washer (smaller car covers can be washed in a home-size washer),
add 1/4 cup of Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner* after it has filled with warm water or prior to putting
the cover inside. Use a gentle cycle if available.
2) Rinse the cover 2 times to remove all of the cleaner.
3) Allow to air dry.
Option #2: Turning Cover Inside-Out on Vehicle
1) Mix one ounce Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner* per quart of warm water.
2) Spray or sponge onto cover.
3) Rinse with plain water until there are no more suds and allow to air dry.

NOTE: Custom-Fit Car Covers are not designed for use when towing. Serious damage can occur to
the cover, and the paint surface of the vehicle may also be damaged. If you use a cover for towing,
you do so at your own risk.
HAZING OF WINDOWS AND PAINT
Airbourne pollutants may be deposited on the windows or paint while a vehicle is being driven or when
parked uncovered. These deposits may become smeared and create a haze when the cover is used. The
haze can be wiped off with a damp cloth or washed off with water.
